NEW YEAR'S

EVE-MAIL

Saturday, 31 December 2011

No, I didn't make a mistake. I meant to say EVE-mail

instead of E-mail

in the title of this message. So, what am I talking

about? Well, let me explain.

Thousands of e-mails pour in to me at year's-end,

beginning tonight.

Back when I was doing The

Show in the early

80's, all of my mail arrived via Mr. Postman. And

there was always a huge influx of mail at the end of

the year, continuing into January. I'm talking thousands of letters!

But here in the 21st century, I don't receive nearly

as much snail-mail. E-mail rules

the day. And now, thousands of e-mails pour in

to me at year's-end, beginning tonight.

So, are you wondering why so many people decide to

write me, , at the end of one year and

the beginning of another? Oh come on, that's an easy

question. It's because after Thanksgiving and

Christmas are over and everyone's had their fill of

holiday food...they're ready! That's right,

they're ready to take on their New Years' resolutions

to lose weight.

But wait a minute. Did they only suddenly realize

that they need to lose weight...now?! Of

course not. They've realized it all year and, for

some, they've realized for many years that they

really needed to lose weight.

Is losing weight in 2012

the same resolution you made for 2011 at the end of

2010?

So I'd like to know, are you one of those people? And

let me ask you something else: Is losing weight in

2012 the same resolution you made for 2011 at the end

of 2010? Remember? Once and for all, you were finally going to

tackle that weight in 2011 but...! (Oh,

oh. I'm beginning to see a not-so-good pattern here.)

Come on everybody, (trust me), I'm not harping on

you. But wouldn't you agree? It's time to make your

resolution to finally lose that weight...real, in

2012! Right?

Want to write and tell me your story?

Believe me, after nearly four decades of doing what I

do, I've heard a lot of stories. BUT...I've

got some good news. So many of those stories end

with...success! And that's what I want for

your life. I want you

all to end up becoming one of those success

stories.

Prove yourself TO yourself!

If you stay focused. If you work hard. If you

believe in yourself and in what you can do then, take

it from me. You will prove yourself TO

yourself and become the success story you've always

dreamed of becoming.

If losing weight is one of your New Year's

resolutions, write it down on a piece of paper, all by

itself. But on that same piece of paper, I want you

to include this little note: It's not

too late for me to lose this weight. It's just

time!

Okay everybody, 2012 will be here in a matter of

hours. You've still got time to send me your New Year's

Eve-Mail!

Love,
